Has anyone found an LED bulb that replaces the 1157 brake/tailight bulb with positive ground needed for my '48?

Long time since last post. The "48 is still running, and I drive her weekly. Fuel pump rebuild solved those problems. I moved my shop to Jensen Beach, Florida, to a much smaller space, and she resides outside. Bought a used Mohawk A7 two post lift, and when I install it, she may find a place indoors. Still planning on doing the cosmetics next.

Thanks! Good info.

Update: she’s back on the road! The fuel pump had a stuck valve. Cleaned it, set the preload on the diaphragms, and reinstalled the pump. Started right up. All new tires, Optima 6v battery.

Another tidbit: I’ve always had trouble getting the 3/4” filter cover plug to seal on the top of the carb. Tried all kinds of fiber washers, o-rings to no avail. This time, scrounging around my shop I found a seal that came with an A/C compressor. Metal with an imbedded rubber seal. Violá!

Thanks, I'll try that. I had rebuilt the pump with a new kit before I parked it.

After letting my '48 sit for almost three years, I'm finally getting back to work on it. It was running with a newly rebuilt fuel pump when I parked it, and now I can't get fuel to the carb. I drained the old gas, put in five gallons of 90 ethanol free, and made sure fuel was getting to where the rubber line attaches to the metal line before the pump. Turning the engine over, and getting it to fire briefly by pouring a little gas in the carb, I can't get the pump to draw fuel. Do I need prime the pump?

Why two batteries? I just installed an Optima 6v and it turns over fine. I am now trying to figure out how to get fuel to the carb after sitting for three years.

What Optima 6v batteries are you using? My NAPA 6v batteries keep failing, and I'm on my second one now. Thinking of going to an Optima.

It's been a long time since I posted, but I just saw this on YouTube. It may be of interest to many of you!

That's really slick. Great job!
